"tortured Soul"

Cast in the shadows
Lost in the deep
Are suicidal thoughts
Merely for the weak

Mired in subversive thought
In waves of despair
Is a longing for nurture
In the fruits that we bear

Distanced from a reality
That may never be
Lies a broken angel
So blinded by hate it cannot see

Cradled in pestilence
Sloth spreads like mold
Death become imminent
As frost surrounds the soul

Yes, it certainly sounds like a tortured soul. You used many words that bring that concept to mind. I hope the poem is not about you, but after you said my Cupid poem reminded me of yourself, gosh, did you get struck by Cupid and then shot down? If so, just pick yourself up and get back in the game, stephen! Luv, andrea
